INGREDIENTS
0.33 cup dry Red Lentils (60g)
0.5 cup cooked Chickpeas (82g)
0.25 cup Light Coconut Milk (60g)
0.25 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (60g)
1 medium Carrot, diced (61g)
0.25 medium Yellow Onion, chopped (40g)
1 Garlic Clove, minced (3g)
0.5 cup Diced Tomatoes (124g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (30g)
1 cup Low-Sodium Vegetable Broth (240g)
0.25 tsp Ground Cumin
0.25 tsp Ground Turmeric
0.25 tsp Smoked Paprika
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly and set aside.
Heat a pot over medium heat and add a splash of water or a light cooking spray. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant and softened.
Add the diced carrot to the pot and continue sautéing for 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the red lentils, chickpeas, diced tomatoes, and low-sodium vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Sprinkle in the ground cumin, turmeric, and smoked paprika. Stir well to combine the spices evenly with the vegetables and legumes.
Allow the stew to simmer on low-medium heat for about 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the flavors meld together. Stir occasionally.
In the final few minutes of cooking, add the fresh spinach and stir until just wilted.
Remove the pot from heat and gently stir in the light coconut milk and nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy texture. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if desired.
Serve the stew warm, enjoying its rich, spiced flavor and creamy consistency.
